Re: Elevated Tripod
Cant agree more, the problem is I`m not sure how to extend the legs and level the scanner on top of it. It seems that I need a short step ladder to climb on, otherwise the extended legs would be useless. Gee its big!!

Re: Elevated Tripod
You can plumb the column (assuming that the top plate is perpendicular to the column) with a clamp-on column bubble level. Low tech, but will work well enough.pbashiri wrote:Can't agree more, the problem is I`m not sure how to extend the legs and level the scanner on top of it.

Re: Elevated Tripod
Hi,
I use this post for ask to you if anybody has a solution to get a faro at the lowest position.
To go into loft spaces, the faro tripod is not easy to use, and i try to find an other solution.
Thank you

Re: Elevated Tripod
Solution, 1 box of beer, invite some mates over (not to many as you only have 1 box)
Burn - ALL wooden TRIPODS. Problem solved. Why anyone still uses these - I can not fathom???
I have a few other tripods, but this is the CORE - In reality you only really need the LAT 295 and the Trivet Plate.
The LAT295 - packs down to the smaller LAT195 units size - but is slightly heavier. Still a 1 hand lift.

Re: Elevated Tripod
We carry a ladder with us accompanying the elevator tripod, level it top notch and then extend the mast up. They max out pretty high yup!

Smallest we have seen is the gitzo carbon fibre or just using a tribrach sitting flat on something sturdyVincent DENIS wrote:Hi,

Re: Elevated Tripod
Most tripods with a center shaft allow for the shaft to be inverted. If yours does then you can run the scanner upside down and even lower it into a hole. Of course ignore or turn off the inclinometer. Also the bottom of the tripod leggs will be in the way but you could rotate the tripod and take a second scan.
I've only done this with a camera but it should work the same with your scanner.

Re: Elevated Tripod
This model cannot be inverted easily. I have taken it apart. It can be done, but would need some kind of extension to get the scanner below the legs. Definitely was not designed to be able to invert mount.LPaulCook wrote:Most tripods with a center shaft allow for the shaft to be inverted.
